Wednesday's Sound Off

I hope you Democrats are happy because your taxes are going to go up $9,000 — $5,000 for Obamacare and $4,000 for out-of-pocket expenses. Hope you’re happy.

PDIDDA will be doing a food drive for the Montgomery County SPCA during the holiday season. The drop off points are at The Sitters Clubhouse, 333 High St., Twice As Nice, 233 High St., Grumpy’s, 137 High St. and Cole’s Tobacco, 215 High St. All donations collected will be taken to the SPCA in Schwenksville to feed the animals in their shelter. Let’s think about the animals.

Who pays the electric bill to keep the lights on all day long across the Collegeville bridge?

GUIDO

In regards to the Spring-Ford School District Annual Report that was recently mailed to district residents, it was very disheartening to see that there was no mention of the high school marching band’s accomplishments which is a far more impressive record than the athletic accomplishments. The Spring-Ford High School Marching Band continues to achieve championship status year after year. Thank you marching band students.

Mr. McLaughlin, you fail to mention in your letter to the editor the current $16.3 trillion national debt or the $6 trillion Obama will add to it in the next four years paying for all your pie-in-the-sky programs. The top 2 percent already pay over 70 percent of tax revenue but it’s never enough for the bleeding heart liberals.

I’m calling about the article that the borough holds line on taxes, how they blame the police budget and the police employees for getting a raise that increases the taxes. I just want all the taxpayers in Pottstown to remember that it was borough council that approved all the raises for management right before Jason Bobst left his position. I blame it on management and council and I hope taxpayers remember that at election time.

To the person who responded to Paul Revere about not supporting anyone who is mentally flawed, my wordage was actually fundamentally flawed, not mentally flawed. The two are fundamentally different. I hope you understand that. And I would never make an assumption as far as a mentally flawed person and a statement like that. However, as far as half the politicians being flawed, I would agree with that.

PAUL REVERE

To Chief Wahoo, if you are or are partially of what your call name indicates, I extend my hand and say thank you. I also extend my hand and say I am sorry for what has happened hundreds of years ago. For the true native Americans of this country, their ways were far more just than ours. I am sorry we have not met 300 years ago as things may be different now.

THE REVOLUTIONIST

Republicans, get your act together on the fiscal cliff or else you will never get my vote ever again.

To the person who responded to take bananas for leg cramps, no; you need to drink water. I get cramps all over and my doctor and boss said to drink a lot of water.

Read about the theft on Shenkel Road. I live on Timberline Drive in North Coventry. Could be the same person who stole my pocketbook out of my house while I worked in my front lawn. Solid gold items also were taken. Found out they got a check for the gold for $25,000. What would you think? Keep your doors locked.

A NEIGHBOR

When it comes to the financial cliff, what will probably actually happen, it will be the poor and the middle class that will suffer the most to pay the consequences. The Republicans certainly don’t want the wealthy to feel any pain. That’s the way it’s been since the beginning of time.

I wish I could have used Zern’s Market or Goodwill but unfortunately I forgot my belt in my haste to get everybody else taken care of in the morning so on my way to work I stopped down the road to buy a belt. Out of all the Chinese belts and a couple Guatemala belts, I thought the Guatemala people needed it more than the Chinese people. Maybe next time I will use Zern’s or Goodwill. Thanks for the tip.

To Going Bonkers, get a Tracfone. They are a great phone for the price, no contract. They have various plans. They have them at Kmart and Radio Shack. I get 60 minutes of use, good for 90 days for only $19.99 plus tax. If you have a computer, go to tracfone.com. It will show phones to buy and minute plans.

When in a parking lot of a store, no one has the right of way, parked or in the lane. So get over it and don’t call the people stupid.
